Behind every job, there is a person with a story to tell.
This beloved musical celebrates the search for meaning, satisfaction, and the dignity of earning a living. With the addition of original stories by the people who live right here in our community, this production stitches together a quilt of voices that share what it means to be living and working in Kalamazoo. Combining the Broadway polish of the original show with the stories of our neighbors, this production is a wholly unique theatrical experience – and a love letter to our community in Kalamazoo.
